[QUOTE="Lizzie, post: 9476363, member: 2027"]I have been accumulating and researching these for a while. I think I have figured out dates but would love some opinions from the experts. Thank you for any help or advice as always. First group I think is the oldest bunch and includes: Garnet studded, with a safety clasp that opens from the top so 1900ish? Bohemian? Flower shape one, which looks black in picture but is really a dark wine color. Pin extends beyond body so Victorian? MOP horseshoe shape, Victorian? It came with a tag that said 1890's lace pin. It is upside down in the Picture. Black one with pearls, Victorian mourning pin? It is missing its C clasp.

[ATTACH=full]444031[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]444034[/ATTACH] Third group: 1930's? All have roll over clasps. [ATTACH=full]444035[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]444036[/ATTACH] And finally, this one: stone is glass, setting is brass, C-Clasp. Almost 3 inches wide. I am on the fence with it. 1900's or 1930's?
